Merlin could feel his heart al him that the worst had happened He wasn't sure when, or even if it was going to strike again, but he thought he was at least safe in a well-lit environ his face and forced him to shi+eld his eyes

Jackson unsheathed his blade and dashed out of the ca Merlin alone in the tent The inside of the tent was still lit because of the hooded lantern that was hooked onto a chain and hanging fro

Merlin looked around the tent's interior, trying to find anything he could use to fight the undead creature, but the tent was just full of documents and loose parchment, no weapons or utility ite it with him as he dashed out of the tent

More notifications started appearing in his peripheral vision, quickly getting replaced with the same notification but with updated infor: 13」

The e the enemies in combat and slay them yourself However another solution would perhaps be to use the environ a tree on a oblin encampment There were many other solutions, the most relevant in the current situation however would be causing ht each other

Areas within the world weren't merely spawn locations forecosystems And based on player actions, mostly in the form of quests, they could be erously close to each other, causing conflict between the inhabitants There were many issues that could arise fro annihilated or one being dominated by the other However there was a rarer outcoh they would join side-by-side for their enerally made the area ht in

However, on a smaller scale, if a player were to have a pack of wolves chase them, and then lead them into an orc encah chance that the orcs and wolves would fight In such a case, the player would be credited for their kill, and the system would most likely count such a kill for their quests, if further restrictions weren't applied The only downside to this tactic however is that the player would not receive experience for the kill

This was one such situation As the undead was here solely for Merlin, killing anything that got in its way any kill it performed would be classed as if Merlin purposefully baited the creature into the ca to his quest counter

"All I did was turn off the light" The wo back and forth, her voice was slowly fading out, it seemed she had also received a lethal strike "Sir Redm"

Another bandit charged towards her, only to have his sto black thorn-covered tentacle It ripped through the man with ease and then threw his corpse into the nearby fortress ith enough force to send splinters flying
